...tial structural components of cells. For instance, bilayers of phospholipids are the primary component of cellular membranes, those essential barriers that define the boundaries of cells and keep the molecules inside a cell separated from those outside a cell. But many phospholipids are more than...Liposome finding implies electrical effect on cell development
